With the 73rd British Academy Film Awards being held in London last night, we have created a run down of our favourite looks that the nominated ladies on the red carpet absolutely nailed.

Margot Robbie: ‘Birds Of Prey’ actress, Margot Robbie, walked the red carpet in a black peplum-waisted Chanel number with floating laced sleeves and an open back.

Florence Pugh: ‘Little Women’ star, Florence Pugh, opted for a voluminous, puffy fuchsia gown with a long train by Dries Van Noten, standing out in a crowd dominated by black dresses and tuxedos.

Zoe Kravitz: Glittering in gold, Zoe Kravitz shone on the red carpet in a metallic gold Saint Laurent dress which she paired with simple red drop earrings that matched both her red-lip and the red carpet.

Scarlett Johansson: ‘Marriage Story’ star, Scarlett Johansson, didn’t hold back for the 73rd BAFTAs as she floated down the red carpet covered in pink sequins and feathers, displaying a thigh split and short feathered train. This Versace number was accessorised with some simple drop earrings to add even more sparkle and flair.

Emilia Clarke: ‘Game of Thrones’ star, Emilia Clarke, chose an elegant floor-length custom-style Schiaparelli gown with sequin embellishment covering the bodice and trailing down the skirt. She paired this with some simple purple gemstone earrings, adding a splash of colour to a classic black look.

Jodie Turner-Smith: Accompanied by her husband Joshua Jackson, Jodie Turner-Smith looked radiant in a halter-neck yellow Gucci gown that perfectly illuminated her baby bump, as she walked the red carpet glowing and covered in sequins.

Naomie Harris: Scarlett Johansson wasn’t the only glamorous actress flaunting a thigh-high split, as British actress Naomie Harris waltzed down the red carpet in a tasseled silver Michael Kors number. This silver was continued throughout her look as she accessorised with a matching clutch and strappy heels.

Ella Balinska: Looking like a spring day, Ella Balinska glided on the red carpet in a pink and white floral Giambattista Valli gown that featured a ruffled hem and neckline. The ruffle-trimmed cape added an element of drama to the otherwise delicate ensemble.

Lily-Rose Depp: The 20-year-old model reinvented the nude look in a sheer lace LBD, striking a pose as she stood out from the crowd in this sexy Chanel number. Showing that sometimes simple is all you need, Lily-Rose Depp opts for some open-toed black pumps and silver accessories.

The post Our Favourite Looks From the 2020 BAFTAs appeared first on Voir Fashion.

The BAFTA Awards commenced with elegance as the nominated ladies flaunted their designer dresses across the red carpet, this combined wonderfully with the multiple wins for 1917 and Parasite; as well as the standing ovation for ‘Outstanding Contribution’ winner Andy Serkis. But most importantly, Joaquin Phoenix calling out BAFTAs on the lack of diversity within the industry dominated the night in London. Let’s look back on the most poignant and heartfelt moments from the 2020 BAFTA Awards.

Standing ovation for Andy Serkis

Serkis’s sensational, avant-garde-esque service to the film industry over the last two decades was met with incredible acclamation; with the audience giving him a standing ovation. Clearly, the most popular person in the building, every face in the crowd beamed with delight after each word of his speech: “I love this work. Motion capture is an egalitarian art form.” Serkis proclaimed as he was handed his ‘Oustanding Contribution’ award. All of this acclamation makes it even more baffling that he has been snubbed as much as he has.

Joaquin Phoenix calls out BAFTAs on lack of diversity

The week leading up to the BAFTAs presented us with the viral hashtag “”, which was the result of the clear lack of representation presented through this year’s nominees list; so there was no surprise that during his acceptance speech for Best Actor, Joaquin Phoenix used this platform to put the focus on the historical systematic racism within the Award Show.

While he began the speech with thanks towards the academy, the Joker actor expressed:

“I also feel conflicted – we send a very clear message to people of colour that ‘you’re not welcome

here.”

“I’m ashamed to say that I’m part of the problem because I’ve not ensured that the sets I’ve worked on are inclusive.”

“We really have to do the hard work to truly understand systemic racism. I think that it is the obligation of the people who have created and perpetuated and benefited from a system of oppression to dismantle it… so that’s on us.”

Parasite and 1917 dominate the awards

After winning the award for Best Foreign Language Film at the Golden Globe Awards, receiving four nominations at the 73rd British Academy Film Awards, and also becoming the first non-English film to win the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. Parasite continued to impress at the BAFTAs by winning the awards for Best Film Not in the English Language and Original screenplay.

WW1 drama 1917 racked up an incredible four award wins at the BAFTAS: for Best Sound, Product Design, Film and Outstanding Film Award. After already winning two awards at the 77th Golden Globe Awards: for Best Motion Picture – Drama and Best Director.
